The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Coastal Cover Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) Great Lakes 2001-era land cover change analysis (NODC Accession 0038694) |
| Abstract: | This data is the 2001 era or late-date classification of the Great Lakes. This data set consists of about 74 partial Landsat 7 Thematic Mapper scenes which were analyzed according to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol to determine land cover. The data were field validated and subsequently mosaicked to produce a land cover inventory for a portion of the US Great Lakes Coastal Zone. |

| Supplementary information: | The metadata in this record is for USGS Great Lakes zone, which includes parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) is a nationally standardized database of land cover and land change information, developed using remotely sensed imagery, for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring these habitats by updating the land cover maps every five years. The development of standardized, regional land cover information enables managers to coordinate the planning of shared resources, facilitating an ecosystem approach to environmental issues that transcends local and state regulatory boundaries. C-CAP has recently released two time periods of mapping for all of the Conterminous United States (CONUS), and is now working to update these products. |
